Competition-Grade Audio

Powerful and detailed audio experience via tournament-grade, next-generation SteelSeries audio drivers. Our latest drivers feature a wide dynamic range that allows you to hear all levels of your audio: lows, mids, and highs. SteelSeries audio engineers crafted the soundscape for the best possible gaming experience. Advanced components like high-grade mylar film were used to further perfect the sound with added clarity and no distortion.

Custom-Engineered Soundscape

Building on the historic SteelSeries audio tradition, a custom-engineered soundscape features a wide dynamic range, which makes it possible for 9H to deliver a balanced and linear tournament-grade advantage. Don’t just win, dominate.

Dolby® Technology

The SteelSeries 9H when used with the included advanced USB soundcard features two Dolby® technologies. Dolby Headphone® allows up to 7.1 channels of realistic multi-channel surround sound. Dolby Prologic IIx® can convert a simple stereo signal into a rich, surround sound experience. In addition, it can convert a true 5.1 signal into a full 7.1 surround experience allowing for multiple listening modes and a more realistic sound.

DOUBLE ENCLOSURE TECHNOLOGY

The SteelSeries 9H features double enclosure technology. A second internal enclosure is sealed around the back of the speaker creating a closed design typically only found in high-end audio studio and DJ headphones. When coupled with the extra-padded ear cushions it creates a level of noise isolation unlike any other headset in gaming. This allows you to hear the in game sounds and your teammates over the roaring of the crowds.

Retractable Microphone

The 9H features a retractable microphone system. Pull it out when you need it. Hide it in the left earcup when you don’t. When the SteelSeries 9H headset is plugged into its advanced USB sound card it enables the noise cancellation capabilities. This active noise-cancelling, “smart” microphone allows your team to hear you above whatever is happening around you.

Extended Comfort

Under the hood

Driven by an advanced built-in sound card that features customizable equalizer settings and upgradable firmware for future expanded audio settings.

Powered by SteelSeries Engine 3

When used with the USB soundcard the 9H gains the support and advanced digital features of the SteelSeries Engine, including the incredible Dolby® audio options and the noise canceling microphone. It will operate flawlessly without the advanced USB soundcard, but you will miss out on key extra features.

Equalize

Let’s face it, the way you hear the game is unique to the tones your hearing can pick up, and probably completely different than the next gamer, which is why SteelSeries provides 9H Headset users with the ability to adjust, personalize and save all of their audio and equalizer settings. Save 8 equalizer settings for each of your game profiles.
